I actually wrote some 3 minute plays for the Titchy Theatre at the weekend.

One was based on Samuel Becketts “Waiting for Godot”, but my version was “Waiting for Gordon”.

The idea was that two cooks are standing outside the village hall waiting for Gordon Ramsey to come and judge a cookery competition.

First they see a man walking up the hill, but it can’t be Gordon as he’s wearing a cowboy hat and carrying a guitar. The contestants realise it’s a local man and that guitars are not cookery implements, those are called banjos!

Then they see someone else, but although he’s carrying a suitcase and has blond hair and looks like Gordon, he goes into a local bed and breakfast hotel and is not the famous chef.

One of them confesses that they are not sure if Gordon is coming today or tomorrow and cannot check as they don’t have Gordon’s agents phone number.

Finally they ask what time it is and realise that their pavlova will be ruined and their Victoria sponge will be burnt. The final line is “oh well, we will have to come back tomorrow!”

I actually got a few laughs (the script was better that the explanation, and the actors helped make it funnier!)
